Peak fill rate in the multitexturing mode is 350 megapixels/sec and 350 megatexels/sec.

Overclocking is impossible.

KYRO II has recently appeared on the market, being the overclocked KYRO. The increased clock rate allows to compete not only with GeForce2 MX, but also with GeForce2 GTS. And as the price is on the level of GeForce2 MX, it increases the rating of these cards. All details are described in the
review of this card.

On the 10th of August 2002 the latest drivers version from STM is 15.00.84 for Windows ME and XP.

The latest drivers are preferable due to fixed bugs and increased perfomance, but we also observe falloffs in some other tests.

I shall also note that real trilinear filtering is replaced by approximation at S3TC activation to reduce perfomance losses, but the approximation quality is rather high. Read all details in the SUMA Platinum K2 review.

You can compare screenshots with reference ones (NVIDIA GeForce3).

Pity, but criticism exceeds stroke-out games. For example, Soldier of Fortune II produces these awful artefacts (screenshots above). the same happens in Morrowind.
